Oscar Nomination Voting Process is Wrong

The fans that
go to the movies and buys the DVDs should have a vote in whom they want as

Nominees. It
is simple the fans. There should be an online voting ballot with a signature of
the voter

and phone number
and email address for verification of an honest and true ballot.

I cannot
believe that Tyler Perry has not won an Oscar for his movies as an actor—he has
played three different characters in some of his movies that he has written,
produced, directed. He is an author, screenwriter, playwright, songwriter and
one of the most brilliant people in America.

Mr. Perry is
a multi-talented man who has been overlooked far too long. And, if the Oscars
are no different this year—2017 than last year---many other races besides the
black race will not be watching. It will have become an antiquated frown upon
event using valuable expensive airtime while gratifying to a certain group.

Black,
Hispanic, Asian, Middle East and Native American actors; men and women who act
their hearts out in movies are overlooked. Some produce, direct, write as well as
act are never nominated. This is not a sour grapes opinion because I am a white
American fan of movies and I know which actors deserve attention to their art
and who gets it because they are popular with certain groups; and not because
they merit the honor.

Some White
actors are overlooked as well—many of my favorites. And, what would help
everyone is to get involved in good movies. Watch movies like Hallmark Movies,
Australia, Far and Away, Legends of the fall, and love
stories in movies like Ghost.

I am sorry I
am not into Zombie or Vampires, but I am sure my nieces and nephews might like
this type of movie. What is needed is a movie that will touch the heart of all
ages; and, I am sure there are writers out there who can write a movie using
actors from different races.

An award
should be voted for on past movies that were popular with fans, but overlooked
by the academy. Choose the movies that have a variety of actors from different
races. No! This is not impossible—it can be done by brilliant people like Tyler
Perry, Samuel B. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, Angela Bassett, Keen
Ivory Wayans, Don Cheadle, Will Smith, and Danny Glover. These are just a few I
know and I am sure there are more brilliant people I cannot remember at the
moment.

Overlooked
are children actors in movies—no matter the race—children should not be unnoticed.
The animals used in movies as actors. The behind the \scenes workers that do an outstanding
job should receive an award for background performance. It takes more than a
village to produce a movie and the ones who help the actors look good are
valuable too.

About Me

My writing is very important to me, as I live to write. I also love living in the country with my pets. I am a country girl and I appreciate all the beauty of what life has to offer away from the concrete jungle of the big city.
